The first phone with an in-display fingerprint scanner was the Vivo X20 Plus UD, which was publicized in January. Since then, we’ve seen fairly a few other smartphones with this technology from companies like Huawei, OnePlus, and Oppo, with more manufacturers anticipated to hop on the trend soon — counting with Samsung.
The main benefit of in-display fingerprint scanners is they are unseen from sight, giving smartphones a cleaner look, but the technology isn’t perfect. In-display fingerprint scanners aren’t as fast as old-style ones located under displays or at the back of devices, but we expect to see developments in this area soon.
Editor’s note: This list of the top phones with in-display fingerprint sensors will be updated as new devices launch.
Huawei Mate 20 Pro
The Mate 20 Pro has publicized a few weeks ago and is the best phone in Huawei’s lineup. It’s also one of the best phones you can grow, offering top-of-the-line specs and a beautiful design.
The Mate 20 Pro has an in-display fingerprint scanner, a triple-camera setup, and 3D facial gratitude.
In addition to the in-display fingerprint scanner, the phone also has a triple-camera arrangement on the back — just like the P20 Pro and LG V40. It also comes with 3D facial acknowledgment, which we haven’t seen on a lot of Android phones so far, and can double as a wireless charging pad. That means you can charge your Qi-compatible phone by insertion it on the back of the Mate 20 Pro.
Like the Galaxy S and Note smartphones, the Mate 20 Pro has a curved display. Unlike Samsung’s flagship, it sports a notch. The phone derives with a massive 4,200mAh battery — the biggest in its class — but doesn’t have a headphone jack on board. It’s previously obtainable in Europe, retailing for 900 pounds in the U.K and around 1,000 euros (~$1,145) in the rest of Europe. Unfortunately, Huawei said the phone will not an announcement in the U.S.

OnePlus 6T
The OnePlus 6T is the slightest upgradation over its predecessor. In addition to an in-display fingerprint scanner with an unlock time of .34 seconds, it also sports a so-called waterdrop notch almost 75 percent minor than the one on the OnePlus 6. The phone also has a greater 3,700mAh battery (up from 3,300mAh), a bigger 6.41-inch display (up from 6.28 inches), and comes with 128GB of base storing instead of 64GB.
It’s not all decent news, though. OnePlus decided to ditch the headphone jack, meaning you’ll either have to opt for Bluetooth headphones or use a USB Type-C to 3.5mm adapter, which is comprised in the box. There’s also no wireless charging or authorized IP rating.
Most of the other specs and features are the same as the OnePlus 6. These contain the Snapdragon 845 chipset, 6 or 8GB of RAM, and the same dual-camera arrangement on the back. The handset starts at $550, making it $20 more luxurious than its predecessor, but the phone offers twice the storing at 128GB. You’ll be able to order yours from November 6 on OnePlus’ website.

Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer Edition
A few other things too the in-display fingerprint scanner make the Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer Edition stand out. The phone features 3D facial gratitude and a transparent back, which permits you to see the internals of the device — sort of. It’s also the first handset to boast dual incidence GPS navigation technology.
The Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer Edition is a flagship generous a large 6.21-inch AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution, the Snapdragon 845 chipset, and 8GB of RAM. The phone also has a dual-camera arrangement on the back and packs 128GB of storage. It’s a prodigious phone overall — with a few drawbacks. There’s no headphone jack on board, it doesn’t support expandable storage, and it has a rather minor battery for its size, at 3,000mAh. There’s also no IP rating.
Like all Xiaomi’s products, the Mi 8 Explored Version offers a lot of value. It launched with a price tag of 3,700 yuan in China (~$535). It wasn’t officially released in the U.S. or Europe, so you’ll have to buy one from Chinese retailers like GearBest, which presently sells it for $680.

Vivo Nex
The Vivo Nex is an innovative smartphone. In adding to packing an in-display fingerprint scanner, it also has really thin bezels around the screen and doesn’t feature a notch. The company attained this by placing the selfie camera inside the phone — it pops up from the top edge when you open the camera app. According to Vivo, the moving mechanism can be raised and dropped up to 50,000 times without a problem, which should be good enough even for those who take a lot of selfies.
The minor bezels also mean Vivo had to get inventive with the speaker. The phone features a technology called Screen SoundCasting, which basically turns the screen into a speaker. A vibration motor transmits sound through the screen, so you can place your ear anywhere on the display during a call to hear the other person.
The Vivo Nex is a high-end phone, with a 6.59-inch Full HD+ display, the Snapdragon 845 chipset, and up to 8GB of RAM, it also sports a dual-camera setup, a 4,000mAh battery, and up to 256GB of storage. There are some oversights — there’s no microSD card slot, IP rating, and wireless charging. The phone is obtainable in China, India, and a few other markets, but it hasn’t been out in the U.S. or Europe. However, you can get it from GearBest for $640.

Oppo R17 Pro
The Oppo R17 Pro packs a slightly less power under the hood than the phones above, generous a Snapdragon 710 chipset. However, it has a few features you won’t discover on other handsets.
The Oppo R17 Pro has a triple-camera setup on the back.
The first one is a triple-camera setup, which is dissimilar than those of the Huawei P20 Pro and LG V40. It features a 20MP main lens, a 12MP secondary lens, and a “3D stereo camera” lens, which is evidently more for AR features than camera snapshots. The phone also has two batteries, both with a capacity of 1,850mAh — 3,700mAh in total. Working in tandem, Oppo claims the supreme charging power is close to 50W and you’ll get a 40 percent charge in only 10 minutes.
Other specs and features contain an in-display fingerprint scanner, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. Unfortunately, there’s no headphone jack or an IP rating for defense against water and dust. The phone launched in China with a price tag of 4,300 yuan ($620). No word on when or if it will come to Western markets, but you can order it on AliExpress for $710.
